1998 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Can't afford to own this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The coolant light comes on sporadically.
The ABS had to be replaced.
The theft system light comes on and shuts the car down. This has been checked twice and no one can find out why this happens.
The radio reception has never worked properly.
The air conditioner isn't working properly and needs to be fixed.
Most of these things started happening after 30,000 miles. I still owe two years on this car. As other people in my area seem to be finding out, this is a high maintenance vehicle and not worth what I paid for it!
